The Heck-Andrews House was finished in 1870 and was one of the first houses in Raleigh, North Carolina to be constructed after the American Civil War. The architectural design is of French influence and is called Second Empire that became popular after 1865. It is located on 309 North Blount Street. It was created by G.S.H. Appleget for Mrs. Mattie Heck, the wife of Colonel Jonathan McGee Heck. It is on the National Register of Raleigh Historic Property. The house has a dramatic central tower capped with a convex mansard roof with a balustrade. The central part of the house is enclosed with a concave mansard roof with patterned slate.

The house was owned by the Heck family until 1916 and was sold to A.B. Andrews. In 1948, Andrews heir sold the house to Julia Russell. The North Carolina government bought the house in 1987 and has plans to refurbish the Heck-Andrews house.
